Process FAQ

Questions Before You Start

Quick answers about MOQ, samples, logo printing, production timing, and choosing the right launch path.

Simple answers

Know the process before placing an order.

These questions help new beauty brands understand what happens before samples, logo printing, production, and shipping.

Can I start with only 50 pieces?+

Yes. Selected products can start from low MOQ, making it easier to test before scaling.

Should I order samples before production?+

Yes. Samples help you check texture, packaging, shade, and product fit before bulk manufacturing.

What logo file do I need?+

A clear logo file is preferred. Vector formats such as AI, PDF, or SVG are best for printing.

How long does production take?+

Timing depends on product, formula complexity, quantity, and packaging. Firbeaut will confirm the timeline after sample approval.

Can I customize packaging later?+

Yes. Many brands start with standard packaging, then upgrade to custom packaging as orders grow.

Which path should I choose?+

Choose Private Label for speed, Semi-Custom for selected adjustments, and OEM/ODM for full custom development.
